Northern Ireland NNA Chair Colm Darby is speaking about the NeoSILT 'Someone Is Listening to Trauma'. Key & important work around PTSD #neonatal #ptsd #nurseledresearch

Was a great opportunity to present the NeoSILT protocol to the nurses at the Neonatal Nurses Association (NNA) NI conference. Gathering a snap shot of nurses perception of PTSD rates in parents within their units- very interesting! Clear result- parents need more support!

Excited to be travelling to Aalborg for the COINN to present the Neo-SILT PPI involvement in the protocol development. Parent voices are so important especially in neonatal research. Neonatal Nurses Association (NNA) #nursesinresearch

These feelings are not just experienced by parents of preterm babies but all parents that have a baby in the neonatal unit. How we approach care, explanation and support is important from the first moment of interaction with parents. #coinn2024

Now onto our research symposia! The fabulous Victoria EM Craig is introducing us to her PhD research looking at the use of EMDR vs Tetris in attempting to reduce the impact of trauma in neonatal care

I hope that Northern Ireland can learn from the great strides that are happening with the British government to explore preterm births and the processes around the management, support and provisions- we need to improve NI neonatal services! Mike Nesbitt

Exciting day as we launch recruitment for the Neo-SILT: Neonatal Someone Is Listening to Trauma study. 3 HSC trusts have approved recruitment with the 2 remaining trusts hopefully coming on in the next few weeks! Wish us luck!!! #perinatalmentalhealth
